This application is a division of my co-pending application Serial No. 299,285 filed October 13,
1939 now Patent No. 2,335,759. v
The function of a retainer in a storage battery is largely to retain the active material of the positive plateto prevent it from coming into contact with the wood separator or from falling to the bottom of the cell.
The advantages of vinyl resin are: that the contiguous filamentscan be made to attach to each other by the application of light pressure and a comparatively low temperature, thus producing a unitary structure which is-self-supporting and can be handled for the purpose of assembly without introducing brittleness. This result is obtained without the use of an adhesive. Brittleness is avoided because the filaments of vinyl resin are remarkably flexible and thus provide sufiicient flexibility between closely spaced points of attachment to permit the filaments to bend or give without breaking at their points of attachment.
Another advantage of vinyl resin is that the threads or filaments in a state of molecular saturation are resistant to and elastic in the powerful oxidizing environment prevailing at the surface of the plates of a storage battery, particularly the positive plate.
Another feature of my invention is that the retainer may be made with a smooth edge formed by causing the filaments at the edge to adhere to each other and preventing them from loosening and projecting beyond the margins of the retainers in service where they may catch any active material dislodged from the plates and cause short-circuits between the edges of opposite polarity.
An object of my invention is to provide a novel process of making such storage battery retainers. This process consists in forming a jet of a solution of vinyl resin, converging jets of compressed air on the jet of vinyl resin solution, thereby breaking up the liquid into very fine filaments and causing the solvent to evaporate, conducting the filaments by gravity or otherwise for a sufllcient distance to cause them to become solid threads,
receiving the solid threads into a heterogeneously disposed mat on a traveling conveyor, and subjecting the mat to the application of light pressure and a comparatively low heat, thereby causing the contiguous filaments to adhere to each other.
The process is described hereafter specifically as an example of-my invention. No limiting interpretation is intended.
and elevated temperature a corporation of New Jersey tober 13, 1939, Serial No. Divided and this application July 24,
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view, principally in side elevation with'parts in vertical cross-section, of a suitable apparatus for carrying out my invention.
Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic face or plan view of a portion of a retainer of my invention.
Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic view in side elevation of a modified form of roll.
Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic face or plan view, on a reduced scale, of a modified form of retainer.
Vinyl resins are a well known class of synthetic resins which may be defined as solid thermoplastic saturated synthetic resins resulting from the polymerization of compounds of the vinyl group,
CH2=CH. Examples of vinyl resins are Vinylite" and "Lucite and Polystyrene.
Referring to Fig. 1, I is a container which may be cylindrical and is divided by a partition 3 into upper and lower chambers B and 9, respectively. The upper chamber contains a solution of the vinyl resin indicated at 4 and terminates below in a a nozzle 5, from which the solution is elected in a fine stream into the top of the cylindrical chute 6. The upper chamber 8 is provided near the top with a pipe 1 through which compressed air may be supplied to force the solution out through the nozzle 5. The base of the lower chamber 9 is perforated with a series of holes or ducts l0 arranged in acircle around the nozzle 5 and directed at a slight angle from the vertical. A pipe H is provided at one side of the chamber 9 through which compressed air may be supplied, whereby jets oi compressed air l2 are forced through the openings l0 and converge on the jet of liquid ltcoming out of the orifice 5. These jets of compressed air break up the stream of filaments and cause the solvent to evaporate so that, by the time these filaments reach the bottom of the chute 6, they have become solid. threads. The chute 6, which may be cylindrical above, is provided with a rectangular orifice at the bottom confronting the traveling conveyor H of fine wire mesh which is caused to travel in the direction of the arrow around the drums l5 and I6 by means of any suitable mechanism (not shown). Beneath the traveling conveyor H and immediately confronting the lower opening of the chute B is an exhaust chamber l1 provided within an exhaust pipe It, by means of which the entrained filaments of vinyl resin in the chute ii are caused to loosely pack into a mat IS on the conveyor it which, after leaving the conveyor, is carried between the two heated rolls 20 and 2|, whereby pressure are applied to the mat,
liquid into very fine compacting this into a coherent and self-supporting strip 22, which may be rolled on the drum 23 and thereafter cut into suitable sizes for storage battery retainers and the like.
As an example of the solution introduced into the container I, a 15% solution of "Lucite in toluene plus methyl alcohol has been found satisfactory. The function of the methyl alcohol is to reduce the viscosity of the Lucite solution thereby making the solution more suitable for processing in the manner already described. A pressure of about one pound per square inch is applied through the pipe 'I- to the upper surface of the solution, and compressed air under a pressure of seventy-five pounds per square inch is introduced through the pipe into the chamber 9. The orifice I may have a diameter at its exit of 0.01 inch and the openings Ill may have a diameter oi. 0.04 inch and be directed at an angle of about 5 from the vertical. For the conveyor H a sixty mesh screen has been found satisfactory. The rolls and 2| are heated to a temperature of about 250 F. It will be understood, of course, that these dimensions andother details may be varied to obtain the particular results and characteristics of the product that may be desired.
Fig. 2 shows a portion of the retainer 30 having 'asmooth edge 3|.
Instead of applying a uniform pressure over the entire surface of the mat, this pressure may be applied to restricted areas distributed over the surface of the mat in a manner similar to spot welding. This is shown in Fig. 4 by modifying the design of the roll 20 as shown at 29 in Fig. 3.
It has also been found advantageous in obtaining the desired characteristics of the finished product to use a mixture of more than one of the known vinyl resins. As an example of this, to an approximately saturated solution of Lucite in toluene may be added a solution of Polystyrene in xylol, the proportion being such as to give a final product containing 90% of Lucite and 10% of Polystyrene" after the solvent has been removed. The addition of the polystyrene to the mixture adds bulk to the mat without a proportionate increase in weight. In other words, the addition of polystyrene in solution to the methacrylate in solution seems to inhibit settling of the filaments produced and results in a thicker mat than is obtained from the methacrylate alone.
I do not intend to be limited save'as the scope of the attached claims may require.
